Example 1
The Transformer
Dotted ends have the same instantaneous phase. In other words, when a positive
half-cycle appears across the primary, a positive half-cycle appears across the
secondary. If the secondary dot were on the ground end, the secondary voltage
would be 180° out of phase with the primary voltage.
The Transformer
Step-up transformer will produce a secondary voltage that is larger than the
primary.
